Mud Island Run - Memphis, TN

Memphis Mud Island Run

When I had a business trip to Memphis, Tennessee…I knew that I wanted to see Graceland, Beale Street, and have BBQ for dinner. What I didn’t know was that my morning run explore on the Mississippi River banks would be even more memorable.

From the Memphis Marriot, I ran north past the Pyramid Sports Arena up to the Auction Avenue Bridge – which has a nice pedestrian bridge. Once you cross over onto Mud island, there’s a great tree-lined park that lines the Mississippi River all the way along Mud Island. The ‘trail’ is really just a grass path, but you’ll see dozens of others out there walking, and jogging.

Out & back from the hotel was about 5 miles and well worth the exploration.
